Publisher's Summary

Dear Listener,

The word "carnivorous", which appears in the title of this book, means "meat-eating", and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. This carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.

It would be best if I didn't mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby.

To avoid causing discomfort, your time might be better filled with something more palatable, such as eating your vegetables, or feeding them to someone else.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Mmm... good book.

Yes I realize my title is underwhelming. I love all of Snickets unfortunate events. I wish he would sit down and write a novel of the Baudelairs lives now... Violet was 16 in 2006 which means now in 2021 she would be 31. I think all millenials who are reaching back for their nostalgic roots would want that kind of update. Carnivorous carnival continues to teach and inspire imagination simultaneously.
